Review of GasLand

GasLand (2010)
10/10
Maybe not the best documentary around, but awfully necessary

With a look at all the negative reviews here, that just focus on one or two attackable things presented in this documentary, I have to give all stars to this documentary.

It seems to me, that there is a big lobby behind the whole topic -- it is nearly as awful as the climate topic, where near religious wars wage. When I read, that at least two films where made as response from the other side to this film -- this is a huge indicator that the film has hit the target.

There are so many facts presented, that should make everybody with a brain to think, but the critics like to focus more on the weak spots, but on the whole mass of facts. Even, when you delete all the weak spots, there are enough facts left, that speak a clear language. Of course, the other side can make 10 further films (and they have the money for it) against it, but I doubt, that they can prove that their is no problem.

It is really sad, what people are ready to do, just to have cheap energy (or for sheer profits).

This documentary is not the best made, but it is an eye opener to everybody that is ready to think about the facts and not just wants to have his own opinions confirmed.

People can put their fingers in their ears and hold their hands in front their eyes, they even can train their brains to negate the truths -- but one day, also the last one will find out, that money can not be eaten.
